It maybe spring but it looks like summer and you can never go wrong with a sleeve shirt. It will work with a variety of pieces in a young gent’s wardrobe.

Their fabrics are mostly from Japan. “Every piece in the KATO collection is inspired by the artistic essence of Kyoto, designed with you in mind, and constructed with care by the most experienced craftsmen.”

“Through wear and over the course of time, KATO garments will continue to improve, adapt, and evolve with you.” Hiroshi Kato, through his perfection of fabric and design, makes KATO more than just a garment. He brings you his passion for timeless, vintage clothing that evolves with you. The artisan clothing is designed with you in mind.

We all are big fan of Plain white shirts! They’re still on trend because they can never go out of style, so get involved. Kato’s brand keeps the fit slim, as you want to wear with a tie. White shirt are good and work well on their own, or with a solid blazer, they are not difficult to wear with a tie, in general. I would stick to solids and university stripes, and then move to subtle checks or glen plaids. There are a ton of good shirt makers out there these days, one of my first suggestions will be Kato’s clothing and their prices range is affordable. click here!

All their bottoms are sewn in their factory in Los Angeles. The tops are sewn in Shanghai in a Japanese owned factory. “The factory we sew in LA is one of the best wash houses in the U.S. and develop and wash for big names in the premium market including Agave, Hudson, Seven, Diesel, G-Star, etc.”

It’s made from fine Japaneses cotton and designed by the one and only Kato’s brand. This check print shirt is the perfect piece to add to your wardrobe. A statement monochrome piece worn with any kind of jacket or even in a more casual fashion, either way it will definitely have you looking as sharp as a razor. Not only that, but will be great for spring/summer (when it decides to show up) as it is made from breathable material that is great for layering with.
Now this is the perfect time to do a little shopping during your break but most importantly, you get to party and celebrate your holiday weekend in style.

I am extremely happy about this project, few months ago I came across Solmate Socks at the Capsule NYC and it was a great experiences. Marianne Wakerlin, the Socklady is the founder and owner of Solmate Socks and the brand has been around since 2000. The company is run in a small town in central Vermont, where the Socklady is surrounded and inspired by the woods, brook, gardens and hills of the countryside. I couldn’t wait to share the full journey with you all. Introducing some of our favorite brands, which are making Wave we think you should know about.

The one continuous change I look to regularly bring exceptional post for my readers. My goal is to give you the most engaging, active and smooth experience.

When the weather gets chilly, nothing knocks a comfortable pair of socks, warm and soft. Solmate colorful socks are impeccable mismatch, share the same styles and the same pattern, each socks relations colors for a chromatically agreeable take on the classic case of mismatched socks. The color preparations will contrast for each sock, but expect a preparation of spring styles such as rich gold, dark greens, deep purples and chocolate browns. Really “Life’s too short for matching socks.” www.socklady.com

The great object about this, is the bold colors for this season. However, the socks is artistic. What it’s always been, the rich color mixture forms a entire new look for a well dress man.

You can pick up product of their colorful mismatching socks on their website or at retailers which going from $15.99 to $20.00.

I am looking forward to bringing you guys more products and concepts from the mind of Steven Onoja. Photographer Oye Diran took the Privilege of providing the Insight for the imagery in this post, as always it’s a pleasure working with him.

If you are shopping for a coat for the winter season, then you definitely want to make sure that it fit your figure. However, we all know that no two men are alike, so make certain that you find the right coat for your body type. This kind of plays into our ongoing debate as to how men usually have to spend a pretty penny on their outfits in order to be well dressed, while women have many more affordable options. 

 One of my favorite items for this season is my vintage coat from Barneys New York, which has been shot with different photographers I have worked with. I think it is such a simple way to instantly dress up an outfit and add a touch of class. I ran into it few weeks ago at the thrift store for $44, you can never go wrong. A coat can be wrapped like a scarf and combined with a sweater or suit for a dab of drama, Practicality and durability are foundations of men’s lives, and therefore, menswear design. You can even use it to replace a blazer for formal occasions.

This week in New York has made a major comeback in terms of seasonal weather changes reverting from the mini-cold blizzard we had over the weekend to beautiful temps in the mid 40′s. With this glorious string of climate changes, makes one need to reassess the wardrobe especially in terms of outerwear. Stylish pickings for these days are all about the coat. If you are a pear shape with wider Shoulder, it is best to choose a longer coat or the pea coat that meets your top area. A cultured way to wear this type of coat is in a double breasted pea coat, which gives the opportunity to compliment your body and still slim you down at the same time.

If you are hoping for an allover slimming effect, then again choose a longer coat that goes past your waist in one solid color. It is also best to find a coat that has a belt around its waist to show that there really is a sharp and elegance to it. Putting the whole outfit together was smooth. One of my main focuses this year is going to be the dress pants. Dress pants looks good on men of all ages, it transcends periods with relative comfort and make both younger and older folks look exquisite but younger folk tend to shy away from it leaving it for the older folks.

The Dress Pant is the epitome of classic staple men’s fashion that has withstood the test of time. Owning a trench coat makes for an easy grab-and-go for slightly chilly weather and protects against minor gusts of breezy wind and the occasional water trickling from cumulus nimbus clouds i.e, rain. Dress pant have always popped up in the cooler seasons of fall and spring fashions, but this year, more and more designers are showing the trench coat some love with modern twists. 

Nothing more or less to say, but enjoy the rest of your day! & thanks for stopping by and checking out my page! http://instagram.com/ostnttnandstyle and https://twitter.com/ostnttnandstyle

We had a good communication walking around taking photos, here are some of the image from the shoot. http://www.lavish-livez.com/blog/archives/5458

Menswear can be ordinary and undistinguished but I find beauty in something that people feel is constantly quite regular. It leaves room to design the unexpected. The fact that menswear is essentially classic pieces is lovely. Pieces like hats, trousers and button-ups are sort of like blank canvases. A designer is able to use these key elements of a man’s wardrobe and expand on them. They sort of become building blocks for an intriguing collection. From playing with prints to introducing new textures. From creating new shapes to adding unexpected details. If you are able to transform the stereotypical menswear, you can also make things that are more common which are essentially items that will be bought by the masses.

Details

Cowboy Hat – Australia Outback Trading Company, USA

Tweed Blazer – Who.A.U Vintage

Wax Sweater – Covet

Button up Shirt – Levis, Strauss and co.

Denim Jeans – The Unbranded brand

Print Socks – Top shop

Shoes – Ronnie Fieg

All is all, women are more concerned with the season’s latest trend. Men often sway toward timeless garments. If you can create pieces that can last someone a lifetime, you can create pieces forever. That is where the money is.

I found this dress in buffalo Exchange, my favorite thrift store in Brooklyn and could not turn it down. I am a sucker for prints collar and cuffs gives it an androgynous touch. Any of these shoes can be dressed down with trousers and a blouse, or they can be dressed up for whatever the night has to offer. Next time you find yourself reaching in the closet for the black shoe, try going for the emerald green hue or a navy blue instead.

Men’s fashion is so interesting because it is timeless. Men are less worried about the fashionable aspect of dressing compared to women. Men want something that can sit in their closet for two years and still look stylish when they put it on. Most items in a man’s wardrobe is a classic piece. Trendy is rarely something they look for. I like most of the items to be wearable throughout the years but don’t get me wrong, a trendy piece can always add to the overall appearance of a look.

It isn’t always the easiest for a guy to walk into a store ask for a fitted shirt and actually get handed it. understanding the elements of a perfectly fitted shirt is essential and not overpaying is probably just as important to us guys. take into account. Sleeve length shouldn’t exceed wrists. Shoulder seems should actually be on the shoulder and there shouldn’t be an overwhelming amount of access fabric around the torso no matter what your build, knowing a store that speaks to your body is imperative and for under $40.00 you can’t go wrong.

paired of with a decent A-Z Collection fitted jacket and tailored chino pant with Ronnie Fieg footwear i purchased here in new york. A simple outlook for decent weather, a clean hat could have been thrown over it to complete an autumn aesthetic. Color choice also make a difference and how much you accessorize . Simplicity was my ideal outlook.

We live in a world that, with every waking morning, is light years different that it was the day before. Modernity is amazing. Expression of self is something we’ve all come to embrace and expect. Technology has enable us to express ourselves to anyone who will read our words, like our pictures or retweet our ramblings. we love this.

I’m going to keep the sale active until I stock some new items which will probably be this weekend. I can’t wait to share some of my new stuff, but for now get the first of the jacket and goodies for a great deal!

However, In the future that is my now, i like to be reminded of what once was still is. Whether it’s the leather folio that was my great uncle’s or my father’s leather belt that for all of it’s flaws and near tears still rests perfectly around my waist – I like the heritage that come before me to live with me everyday. 

The most fashionable and popular colors when choosing a  jackets are black and brown. However, you can find many other unique colors which will also look great! And when it comes to styles, you can choose between leather bomber jackets, leather biker jackets, leather motorcycle jackets, and so much more! Jackets is one of the most essential item for winter.

So, in the interest of marrying the essence of the past with an element of the contemporary, here’s. I chose to sort of morph my body with that of a clothes form. This self-portrait symbolizes my new beginning in my studies. I am becoming more knowledgable with many aspects of the fashion industry; It is as if i am becoming one with the industry… Kind of. I wrote different things that are constantly on my mind to make up the kinks in my hair.

On the final note I think everybody’s got a presentation. Everybody looks a certain way because they want to convey a certain image. You look a certain way because you want people to listen to you in a certain way. The attention to details is the main focus, so bring a pen, take notes and leave a comment. have a stylish week guys
